System and method of generating effects during live recitations of stories

ABSTRACT

One aspect of this disclosure relates to presentation of a first effect on one or more presentation devices during an oral recitation of a first story. The first effect is associated with a first trigger point, first content, and/or first story. The first trigger point being one or more specific syllables from a word and/or phrase in the first story. A first transmission point associated with the first effect can be determined based on a latency of a presentation device and user speaking profile. The first transmission point being one or more specific syllables from a word and/or phrase before the first trigger point in the first story. Control signals for instructions to present the first content at the first trigger point are transmitted to the presentation device when a user recites the first transmission point such that first content is presented at the first trigger point.

Presentation component 116 may be configured to determine when to cease transmission of control signals for the instructions for effectuate presentation of the content by presentation device(s) 141. Presentation component 116 may be configured whether a user stopped reciting and/or conveying the story. Responsive to the user stopped reciting and/or conveying the story, presentation component 116 may be configured to cease transmission of control signals for the instructions for effectuate presentation of the content. Responsive to the user stopped reciting and/or conveying the story, presentation component 116 may be configured to cease recording audio signals from the user. Presentation component 116 may be configured whether a non-reading event occurred. Responsive to a non-reading event occurring presentation component 116 may be configured to cease transmission of control signals for the instructions for effectuate presentation of the content. For example, a non-reading event may include users having a conversation, a doorbell ringing, crying, a phone call, and/or other events not relating to the story.
